Happy 9th Birthday, Jackson David!!

Dearest Jackson,

Your 9th birthday fell on a Friday this year so you had school that day but we surprised you before you left that morning with this huge message on our front lawn!


After school, you had a few friends over and we piled all of you into our cars to head to your party.


Everyone else met us at Main Event and the party started with bowling.


Y'all played 2 games of laser tag afterward.


And then it was time for pizza and cookie cake.  You designed a fun look making it half a soccer ball and half a baseball.


The party ended in the arcade and this smile tells me it might've been your favorite part!


You're the reason for so many of our smiles over the past 9 years.  We love your energy and caring heart.  You're an awesome big brother, a helpful teammate, a level-headed student, and a budding comedian.  Thanks to an overabundance of examples between your teachers and your parents, sarcasm has recently joined your vocabulary and you lay it on thick sometimes.  You are a homebody but you're always game to head to a sporting event (your own or those of others).  You don't have a huge group of friends but you seem to be nice to everyone.  We're still learning you and, the more we learn, the more we love.

Happy, happy, happy birthday, baby boy!
